    Very sad and possibly avoidable death depriving everyone of a great musician and songwriter. Sadly missed!

    Remembering John played Solo at Club Synergy in West Chicago in the late 90’s, on his Birthday. At soundcheck, everyone gathered around him to sing Happy Birthday. He seemed very happy. I know I was. Cheers John.

    I was lucky enough to see the band in Cleveland in the fall of 2000 amongst the several times I’ve seen them and to this day I still remember the absolute power they had in front of a crowd.I can only imagine what it was like in the 70’s.Somewhere Keith is counting in the song and John is nodding his approval-with a wicked grin on his face I bet.

    Ya know when Keith passed I thought Ok it was gonna happen, When John passed I said well does Roger or Pete really know what this means? it’s up to them does it end with you or does it go forward with you? Long live rock

    John was a true gentleman. I met him in upstate NY a few months before he passed away. He was kind enough to step out of the passanger side of the car he was sitting in and stand in the rain so my brother could snap a picture of the two of us! I will never forget that moment because he got soaking wet and it meant the world to me. RIP John.

      Nice thing to have happen – back in 1989 myself and a mate were leaving a gig at Wembley arena and John and his driver went past in a “big black Cadillac”. We stared and he stared back! No other interaction though, he was still in his stage clothes if I remember correctly.
